Sir,
I wish to call your attention to Sally Harrington's Revolutionary Pensions claiming. She is now drawing a Pension at the rate of twenty six dollars fifty six cents, ($26.56) per annum under act July 29 th 1848, as the Widow of Henry Harrington.
She declares that her said husband served his all at Lewiston & private 5 years & 8 months, as her Agent (procura) gave the 20 th of May 2 nd proof of his service as private for all that portion of his service for which the said Pension was granted. Mr. Thomas Humphreys name will appear as agt. when this pension was granted.
Subsequently there has been some evidence filed in this case by a Mr. Soy who was at Washington and acted as her agent by my request which he thought was sufficient to substantiate an increase of Pension for her services rendered as lancaster . The last I heard from him was that various not fully satisfied that the soldier that rendered the service was the husband of said Sally Harrington. What the proof is or what further proof of her identity you require he did not inform me.
Another agent whose name I do not recollect was appointed who lives in Washington was appointed by my request who I supposed would be much more

more efficient than I could be - but he is so busy in his movements, that I wish to take off my assistance at Washington and do what little business I do directly with the Pensions office for I fear that the men at Washington who are handling this section with letters begging for business and of no service at your office in my case. Now Sir, if you will have the goodness to return her papers and in- form me what further proof you require to establish her claim to an increase of pension for services rendered by her said husband at Leicester , I will be greatly obliged to you. I have Sir the honor to be,
Respectfully J. S. Paine

Sir, I have a case pending at the Pension office, that I think is a little. I would thank you to advise me if you can do any thing to make the facts roll, and if you succeed I will pay you for your trouble, the old girl is very poor, is supported by the charity of her neighbors, and I presume you will be reasonable. Applicant is Sally Harrington, Widow of Henry. On the 25 th of August, 1849, the Comptroller wrote me, that "The Sterilization of the Secretary of Massachusetts, shows Service credited to Henry Harrington, of Pomfret, in 1775, and also to a Soldier of the same name from Dedham,"
They require in said letter, that Applicant should show that there are adjoining Towns, and that he belonged to one of them, the County in which Pomfret was situated, and its distance from Dedham, &c. Also further testimony as to the date of their marriage,
They also requested an additional Certificate of Father Paddock, showing the age of their Children &c. I sent you his Certificate, - as to -

the Children, they never had any. Please do the best you can in the case and write me.
Very Respectfully your affec. Servt, W. D. Steinbach
P.S. I have written for information relative to Harrington, since from Dedham, & Somerset, I had recd a letter from Dedham. Saying, there were several, by the name of Harrin- gton, who served in the Revolution from that town, but the man who wrote me said he could learn of no one by the name of Henry, as for Somerset, I cannot find the town, next the one that was formerly called so.

They were reputed to be man and wife, and ever lived together as such, but have no children; He claimed to have served in the revolutionary war; which I never heard disputed, and do not doubt.

I Samuel Dyke of Weathersfield in the County of Windsor and State of Vermont aged eighty six years, depose and say that I was well acquainted with Henry Harrington and with Sally Downer both residents of this Town formerly. She said Henry Harrington and Sally Downer were married some time in the year 1793, as I understood by Judge Robinson then a resident of this town. At time I was not present at the Marriage and cannot now recollect the exact date of it but I knew them both living together as husband and wife previous to the 1 st of January 1799. The exact length of time they had lived together in the marriage state, I do not now recollect, previous to the year 1799, but I distinctly recollect of knowing them as husband and wife previous to my own marriage which took place in the month of October 1798. Some few years after the time above referred to, they removed from this town to a more northern town in this State as I understood the name of which town I do not now recollect.
I frequently heard the said Harrington speak of his having served in the Army in the War of the Revolution and it was generally understood by the people of this town at that time that he had been a Revolutionary soldier.

Brief

Suspended Revolutionary claim Sally Harrington
See yours of 14 April 1853
Quid Augst 19. 1853
Sir
The service that you allude to, as of 6 July 1778, you have not allowed in computing Mrs. A. pension, & why call it her husband's at this time since you reject it . You only admit one tour of service of 8 Months in 1775 rejecting one tour of 6 Mo 7 days, & one of 5 days in 1776, & one of 12 days in 1778, these three tours of service you seem to call not his, for the reason perhaps, that 2 of them were performed by a Soldier from Dedham, & the last no place mentioned. The first tour of 8 Mo. was as thy State, performed by a Soldier from Danforth, & her declaration went on to State the 3 years training as you admit was performed by a person of his name, & me it is a very clear case, as one man was none Danforth. Rejecting the 3 tours of service, how can you reject the training service, since it shines in exactly with our claim, & was performed by a man of his name. I take it for granted that you will allow the pension, if you see it as I do.
Most Respectfully

I refer confidently to the papers on, & the declaration

Barkersburg, Aug. 8, 1883 Dear Sir,
Could you give the affidavits of Samuel Ginn, with the testimony now on file in your office I think will be satisfactory in establishing the marriage of Sally Harrington, wife of Henry Harrington deceased.
In your letter of August, 25 th 1883 you say "If Judge Puckett is acquainted with Mrs. Harrington's children, and can say that he believes some of them to be over fifty years old, it will strengthen the testimony now filed in relation to their marriage."
Since I had the above letter from you I have obtained and forwarded you Judge Puckett's Certificate stating that he had been acquainted with Mrs. Harrington, and also her husband just before his death, during the period they resided in Craftsbury, being there 20 or 30 years, that said Harrington always represented himself to have been in the war of the rebellion, and that Mrs. Harrington never had any children. I am against no individual & being that I was acquainted with Mr. Harrington, while a Soldier

but in all the testimony I have sent you, it appears Fanny has always refused to have lived in the Revolution, & been acquainted with him, both in Northfield, & Craftsbury, Vermont.
I wrote Mrs. Fanny's declaration and stated to State that she always under- stood from her husband, Fanny, that he lived in the Revolution from Pomfret, and Dedham. She is anxious to make an affidavit stating this fact, if it is thought necessary, you will have the good news to inform me.
Mrs. Fanny's mental faculties are gone but she is blind, & having no children, to sus- pect her she is supposed to be the town of Craftsbury, which is very repugnant to her feelings. Her case is considered a meritorious one by all acquainted with her history, and I trust you will give her a share that liberal construction that the nature of it seems to warrant.
I am, Sir, with much respect, your ob't. serv't,
J. A. Merrill.

Heathersfield Town Clerk's office November 25 1848
Sir, some time since I received a letter desiring me to send a copy of a record of the marriage of Henry Farrington and Sally Downer. I have examined the Records thoroughly and find no such marriage on record and indeed there is no record of any marriage in this office previous to the year 1799. and so I made no return. On the 22 d of Nov. I received two letters from one person at one time in one of them I found something that will make the wheels run. Some 20 years after the decease of Judge Robinson one of his descendants (I cannot recollect which of them) shewed me a book in pamphlet form, in which the Judge recorded marriages &c. I noticed in particular his record of my marriage in 1794.
I am now in my 78 th year and confined to the house by illness, and if possible to find the record I procured a bay horse and carriage and sent my daughter my chief Clerk 24 miles to Judge Robinsons oldest Grand child a maiden Lady who has always lived near the Judges residence and is well knowing to his affairs before and after his decease. She says there is no papers of her Grand fathers to be found. The record in question among the rest they were used as waste papers, and were considered as of no value after the 3 d generation came on the stage. Judge Robinsons Children Mr. Follows and his wife were all among the dead. The best evidence that I can obtain of the marriage of Mr. Farrington and Sally Downer is by common report of the oldest persons living in the vicinity where they were married.
Yours. &c.
Joshua Upham Town Clerk

I Rebecca Fellows of Weathersfield County of Windsor and State of Vermont do depose, testify and say that I knew Henry Harrington, who formerly lived in said Weathersfield and I remember his being married to Sally Downer I should think about February seventeen hundred ninety eight. I was not present at the marriage, but think it was about that date from the circumstances of Mr Shipley Wells being invited to attend the wedding I engaging a horse & sleigh of my father for that purpose, who, as appears by his receipt to my father Varney Fellows one of the District School Committee acted March 8 th 1798, taught our District School the winter of 1797 & 98. As Mr Wells did not live in this town and did not keep school here but one winter, I can fix the date of the wedding more particularly by the above circumstances. I remember that my father & mother stated they were present of said Harrington & Sally Downer at the wedding, and that Judge Robinson married them.

I have no doubt that they were Married about this time by Judge Robinson with whom I was well acquainted as I recollect their Marriage was a subject of conversation and notoriety among the people of the neighbourhood where they resided and I never heard it contradicted. Certain I am that they lived together as husband and wife previous to the 1 st of January 1800. I recollect that my son born in the month of December 1798. a record of whose birth I now have, was but a few months old less I think than by at the time of their Marriage. They left this Town a few years after their Marriage and I understood went to Gra fton , taking her with her

I frequently conversed with him relative to his being a soldier in the War of the Revolution, he referred to related many anecdotes relative to his service, told me that he served under Capt. Perkins & several other officers Blame names I do not recollect, he often spoke of doing much service as teamster and from what I have heard him relate relative to his service, I have most doubt but that he spent most of the time during the War, he was an intelligent active man and his reputation for truth was good. I further testify that the aforesaid Harrington left a widow who is still living under no doubt like circumstances that she married with the aforesaid Harrington as his lawful wife during the time I was acquainted with him, I have often heard him speak of living in Westmoreland Vermont, I have no doubt but he was then married to Mrs. Harrington as she refers to in her declaration, Jacob Mason
